I will teach you the ultimate comfort food.
The Monte Cristo Sandwich. Blanchard style.
1. Whip up a couple eggs. Smash up some cornflakes. Add a little salt and pepper to the cornflakes.
2. For the sandwich, you need plain old white bread. Square. No fancy stuff.
On one slice place some lunch meat ham and white american cheese. It's best if this cheese was wrapped with an individual wrapper. Don't get fancy.
On the other slice, layer lunch meat turkey and orange american. From a wrapper. No fancy.
**now would be a good time to put about 1/4 inch oil in a smallish frying pan. You can only fry half of a sandwich at a time, so you don't need a big pan. Plus, it saves on oil. Turn up to med-high heat.
3. Stack 'em up.
4. Poke two toothpicks in at an angle on each side. Then slice at the diagonal.
5. Dip each side into the egg, then coat with cornflakes. Place in the hot oil and let each side brown. Watch carefully! It browns pretty fast and you don't want to scorch the cornflakes. If it's too hot, it will only cook the outside. You want a nice golden brown and a nice melty inside.
6. The results are a crunchy, gooey, savory delight that will make you pine for old times.
You know have one of the keys to happiness. Use it wisely.
And don't forget to take out the toothpicks.
